Mike Shinoda, and damn anyone callin LP sellouts. They fought that statement over and over and over, constantly ridiculed for it, proving time and time again they arnt. They took interviewers into studios and showed step by step how a song was written by them, how many times they have re-written it. Emotional attachments? Chester has had one fucked up childhood, more than enough to push a thousand of these albums with his anger.
On the fort minor CD, every song is an individual statement from Mike, all hitting home to him. Listen to the track Kenji, its about his grandfather who was japanese being put into an interment camp. Its a great song.
Just because alot of idiots like a band doesnt make them sellouts. LP is still doing what they love, regardless of who likes it. Now take Papa Raoch, THEY sold out, they changed their sound since the first CD, and always do now, with each new CD. Just because someone becomes popular doesnt make them a sellout band. CHanging your image and your sound due to what the current mainstream is so that you sell more records, THATS selling out. Linkin Park made it very clear they like to experiment, my friends and I also experiment with out music, we all have different tastes of music that blends somewhere in the middle, one band we all agree on is LP.
We love trance, hip hop, rock, metalcore, and various other styles, it all collaborates into one tricky ass sound when we get together and have fun with music, thats EXACTLY what LP does, so we can relate. LP Tries shit, but there overall message and sound remainds constant, prove to me otherwise.
